The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has strongly dismissed claims by Kwame Asare Obeng, widely known as A-Plus, suggesting that the party had reached out to him for collaboration after his election as the Independent Member of Parliament for the Gomoa Central Constituency.

In a statement released on Monday, January 6, 2025, the NPP, through its General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong, clarified that no such approach had been made. The party emphasized that it had neither met with A-Plus nor authorized anyone to engage him on its behalf.

“We wish to state unequivocally that the New Patriotic Party has not met with A-Plus or mandated anyone to engage him on our behalf,” the statement read. It further dismissed the allegations, urging the public to disregard any unverified claims.

A-Plus had earlier taken to Facebook on January 6, revealing that the NPP, led by Hon. Kennedy Agyapong, had proposed a deal to him. According to A-Plus, the offer included a pledge by the NPP not to contest his seat in the 2028 elections if he agreed to join their caucus in Parliament.

In his post, A-Plus also mentioned that while he felt a stronger emotional connection to the National Democratic Congress (NDC), the party had invited him for a meeting on January 7, hoping to secure his support. He made it clear that while he had friends in both parties, his decision would depend on which party presented the best deal for him and the people of Gomoa Central.

“The NDC, with whom I genuinely wish to align, has also invited me for a meeting tomorrow at 8 a.m. While I have friends in both the NDC and NPP, they have to understand that I will have to disappoint someone tomorrow. Let me make this simple and clear: deep down, my heart leans toward the NDC, but I will ultimately side with whoever has my interest at heart and provides the best offer for me and the people of Gomoa Central,” A-Plus stated.
